Scientists discover dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong for the first time, the city's government announced on Oct. 23, 2024, adding that the species remains unknown. Experts from Hong Kong and mainland China identified the fossils as belonging to a large, aged dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, around 145 million to 66 million years ago, the Development Bureau said in a statement.
The fossils discovered on Hong Kong's Port Island will be on public display at the Hong Kong Hertiage Discovery Centre from Friday onwards.
